GeForce GTX 280 failed to successfully strike back at Radeon HD 4850 X2. However, there is a new warrior entering the scene, armed with a 55nm G200 revision that can work at higher frequencies. Will it be able to champion the honor of "the green" and take revenge?

Performance in Real-Time Strategy

Red Alert 3

The game has a built-in frame rate limiter set at 30fps.

Alas, Red Alert 3 is even more biased to one GPU developer than the X³: Terran Conflict. It is only with the dual-chip GeForce GTX 295 that you can achieve an acceptable 4x MSAA performance with the current version of the GeForce driver.

World in Conflict

The ordinary GeForce GTX 285 with the reference frequencies is a little slower than the Radeon HD 4850 X2 but ensures the same level of comfort overall. The SSC version from EVGA is as fast as ATI’s solution and even somewhat ahead at 1680x1050. Anyway, neither card can provide an acceptable bottom speed at 2560x1600.
